Sta-Kon RDD27 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What voltage and temperature can the Sta-Kon RDD27 butt splice handle?
The RDD27 nylon insulated butt splice is rated 600 V and 105 C. That covers standard building branch circuits and control wiring, and the 105 C rating means it holds up inside luminaires, junction boxes, and other warm enclosures where a 75 C splice would be marginal.
2) Is the Sta-Kon RDD27 UL listed?
Yes. The RDD27 butt splice carries UL file E9809, which is the listing an inspector or spec writer will want to see on an insulated splice used in a 600 V circuit.
3) Is the RDD27 butt splice barrel copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The RDD27 has a copper barrel under the nylon insulation, so it is intended for copper conductors. Aluminum building wire needs a connector specifically marked AL or AL9CU, so do not substitute this splice there.
4) What does the red color on a nylon butt splice like the RDD27 indicate?
Red is the color-coded insulation on the RDD27. On insulated terminations, color identifies the wire range the barrel is sized for, so matching the color to your crimp tool's die station is how you get a proper crimp. Use the red die position for this splice.
5) Is the RDD27 a crimp splice or a push-in connector?
It is a crimp splice. The RDD27 is a nylon insulated butt splice with a copper barrel: strip both conductors, insert one into each end, and crimp each side with the matching die. There are no screws, no set screws, and no solder involved, and the nylon sleeve is the insulation, so no tape or heat shrink is required to finish the joint.
6) Why choose a nylon insulated butt splice over a vinyl insulated one?
Nylon, as used on the RDD27, takes more heat and abrasion than vinyl and resists cracking when the sleeve is flexed or pulled through a raceway. With a 105 C rating it suits fixture whips and warm equipment enclosures; vinyl insulated splices are generally the lower temperature option. For circuits at 600 V or less, the RDD27 covers the usual commercial branch and control work.
7) Is the RDD27 butt splice watertight for outdoor or wet location use?
No. The RDD27 is a nylon insulated splice, not a sealed or adhesive-lined one, so it does not seal out moisture. For wet or direct-burial locations use a heat-shrink sealed splice or house the joint in a listed watertight enclosure.
8) What is the manufacturer part number to order the Sta-Kon red butt splice, and where is it made?
Order it as Sta-Kon RDD27. It is manufactured in Mexico.
